Peak District Run, part 3. Sunday August 9th
Discussion
Lunch stop Pavillion cafe Buxton.
If you want to you can give them a ring and pre order your meal, this will save a lot of time on the day. You will find the information and menu here. We have seating reserved for about 40. Tell them you are with the TVR Car club that is already booked in for Sunday the 9th, and will be arriving at approximately 12:15.
( I would definitely recommend this for glen who is always half way through his meal as we are all leaving )

Can all drivers also print a copy of this please....The small print
This is not a timed event, not a convoy, but a guided route.
You are responsible for your own driving standards and should drive in a manner that falls within the law and your own capabilities.
1. If in a group of cars signal early for turnings, pass the signal back.
2. Watch out for the car behind you. Make sure the person following you sees you make the turn
3. Allow suitable distance between you and the car in front of you. This will prove its value approaching the many blind bends in the Peak District, and as you make judgements whether to stop or proceed through amber lights. Remember amber means STOP if you have time to stop safely.
4. Use your best judgement when approaching long green or amber lights. Don't be concerned about delaying those behind you by conservatively judging the light. Judge it as you would if you were travelling independently of the group.
5. If at the front of the group or setting the pace, then bear in mind the "whip effect" even when you are doing a legal speed limit at the front, cars may need to do considerably more to catch up the tail of the convoy. If they have been briefly delayed at roundabouts etc.
6. If a non-convoy driver wants to cut in, let them. In fact make it easy for them. There will be plenty of time to re-group at our designated re-group points and rest stops. Share the road.
7. If we need to pass a car or cars, it should be done one convoy car at a time, don't all move out to pass at the same time. Pass as an individual not a group. Again remember those many blind bends.
8. Use common sense. Drive as though you are an individual following a planned route and map, rather than the participant of a group. Please take a few minutes to study our route maps before the trip and locate the roads on your map or atlas.
9. Your safety and safe operation of your vehicle is your responsibility alone and the run organiser assumes no responsibility for anything other than making arrangements for the event.
10. Not all these things are mandatory , necessary or even practical but use them where appropriate this will help to keep the run safe, fun and responsible.
11. Above all else " KEEP IT ON THE BLACK STUFF"

On the food side of things don't worry about that we can just arrive and order on the day. The lunch menu is full of a variety of delicious, local and freshly prepared meals. Also there is the Cafe bar and last year food stands outside, just go in early after you have parked up. You will not get a much better setting to display the cars than the Pavillion Gardens, and they can accommodate the amount of cars expected to arrive and in our own private area. This is not a public car park and we have secured special permission to display the cars here.

Just some useful information for the run.
1. Please don't forget those many blind bends in The Peak District, approach them thinking " What if " Keep a safe distance and a safe speed to allow you to stop if there is a problem around the bend. That stationary queue around the corner will be your friends in their TVR's.....!
2. We need to Start at 10:30am so please try to arrive in good time. If you miss the start you will still be able to catch us up due to the designated re-group stops.
3. We have 2 re-group stops in the morning, the 1st at Castleton will be a break and photo opportunity. The 2nd stop will just be a brief catch up for those at the back. This will be after we turn left at the traffic lights in Whaley Bridge towards Long Hill and Buxton. This will only be for about 10 minutes maximum.
4. Don't worry if you see lots of TVR's coming the other way. The route has some turn points to allow you to see all the other cars on the run ( good for the videos and photos )
5. The lunch stop at the Pavillion Gardens is in a pedestrian tourist area. Please drive and park carefully through here. Be patient at the back it will take a little time to get everyone parked. We have special permission to be in this area.
6. If you are eating in the Pavillion Café please go in asap and order your food. We have reserved seating in there for about 40. Look for the large TVR flag and the small Union Jack flags on the table for our area.
7. We need to leave here before 2pm due to a band playing at the bandstand, I don't think they would appreciate the noise of about 30 TVR's starting up while they are playing.
8. Due to the many traffic light leaving Buxton we will inevitably get split up. Follow the A52 Ashbourne signs out of Buxton and we will re-group near the Esso/Tesco petrol station. This will be about a 5 to 10 minute wait just for those at the back.
9. We have one more designated re-group in the afternoon and this is just before Matlock Bath. It is a great sight for the many tourists if we go through here as one big group. The re-group point can be a bit tricky to get everyone turned around but well worth the effort, please be patient as we get all the cars together for this.
10. Please try and make it to the finish point at the Monsal Head, one of the most photographed views in the Peak District and a great beer. They have a very small carpark at the front and a very large one at the rear and also an overspill carpark at the rear.
11. If any one gets lost look for the purple TVR arrows all along the route.
Have a great day.....
